Chapter 7

Matt

I could see that Zann was beginning to suspect something, and I was pretty sure it was that thing Diana was supposed to be organising.

Zann's comeback party.

She was really discharged tomorrow, and Di was organising a party at Zann's place.

"Hey, what do you mean by 'Colein's gonna be there'?" Zann asked curiously.

Di turned and glanced at her.

"Colein's going to be at somewhere, Z. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll show up," she replied, directing the emphasised 'sure' to Matthew.

Zann furrowed her eyebrows but kept silent.

Matthew scowled at Diana, and Di just grinned cheekily and turned back to me.

"That, obviously, was meant for Matthew," Diana commented softly.

Matthew scowled even more fiercely.

Ooh, somebody's jealous!

"Face it, Matty, a guy's gotta have competition, and Colein's a good one," she said offhandedly.

Zann heard that line and perked up.

"Really, Diana? Don't make Matts jealous, he'd get you for life." she told Di.

Diana stifled a laugh. "Okay, okay. I apologise, Matthew." she said.

Matthew rolled his eyes. I think I've never seen him this annoyed, and Theresa, that girl- tomboy, ugh- used to get under his skin!

"By the way, Matteo, your prezzie's ready for tomorrow." Di informed me.

I hate my real name.

"Fine, game's up, my real name is Matteo, so what?" I asked.

Diana shrugged.

" I got no point to make, just thought it would be fun to use your real name. Anyway, what's wrong with it? It's a great name." Diana commented.

Thanks, Di. I thought.

Best compliment.

Ever.

Really, it was one of the nicest things that had come out of her mouth since we came to know each other.
